None of the “Go to” shortcuts are working

[danielll9891]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open several note tabs.
2. Try navigating using “Go to tab #” (Ctrl + #) or “Go to next tab” (Ctrl + Tab).
3. Rebind the shortcuts (e.g., “Go to tab #” → Alt + #) and try navigating again.

Expected result

It should be able to switch directly between tabs or cycle through them using the assigned shortcuts.

Actual result

Navigation does not work. Keyboard focus does not change/cycle for desired/next tab.

Additional information

Shortcuts like “Focus on tab group left/right/above/below” and “Navigate back/forward” work as expected.

I can try on Windows tomorrow, but cmd 1, cmd 2, cmd 3, etc., are working for me to change tabs on macOS.

Everything works for me as expected. I also have Windows 10.

Maybe there’s a conflict somewhere? Do you use software like AutoHotkey? Did you edit registry by any chance?

No conflicts, no AutoHotkey, and no registry editing.

I’ve tested setting CTRL + # to “Quick switcher: Open quick switcher” and from 1 to 9 works but, oddly enough, CTRL + 0 did not. I’ve closed all other apps on my machine besides Chrome and still nothing.

I had missed testing this in the Sandbox Vault, so I switched over to it and the shortcuts worked there. After that, I restarted the app and the shortcuts started working normally, except for the default Ctrl + 0 to open the Quick Switcher. I remapped it to Alt + 0 as a workaround.

Everything seems normal now, aside from the fact that I can’t use Ctrl + 0 for any shortcut — but that’s no big deal, all good!
